英国曼彻斯特的创作才子David Gray于1993年踏进唱片界，连出三张专辑却不见起色，98年卯起来盖录音室，开设IHT音乐品牌自我行销，这位被民谣歌手Joan Baez称赞为“自Bob Dylan以来，乐坛最佳词曲创作者”的年轻人终于以专辑《White Ladder》的沸腾口碑冲破音乐厂牌的商业机制，《White Ladder》蝉连英国金榜6周冠军，光在英国一地就卖出220万张，并在TOP40驻留超过100周以上，更跃升为爱尔兰有史以来最畅销的歌手专辑（不包括合辑）。2000年，透过Dave Matthews自组的ATO音乐厂牌引进美国市场，专辑轻松卖过200万张。2002年更入围格莱美奖最佳新人奖，David Gray真诚、简单、深刻的唱作风格树立了新时代的才子典范。

Foundling is the ninth studio album by English singer-songwriter David Gray. The double album is set to be released on 16 August 2010 in the United Kingdom, and on the following day in the United States by Mercer Street/Downtown Records. Foundling was announced after plans for a reissue of his preceding album Draw the Line were cancelled. The re-release was scheduled to include B-sides and unreleased tracks from the Draw the Line sessions, which included "A Moment" (released as the first single under the new title "A Moment Changes Everything"), "Old Father Time", and "More to Me Now".

Described as a "private record", Gray states that he has "never taken the dynamics [as] low as I have done on this record. I had to have faith in writing and understatement – the things I hold as my strengths. I'm as proud of it as anything I've done." Gray's commercial expectations, however, are low: "This record is going to disappear off the face of the earth, bar some freak occurrence".
